Loose Women viewers were left reeling after Gloria Hunniford delivered a brutal four-word dig to her co-star Denise Welch, a day after her explosive clash with a guest over Meghan Markle

Loose Women star Gloria Hunniford caught viewers off guard with a sharp four-word jibe towards co-star Denise Welch following her clash with a show guest.

Monday’s episode was hosted by Coleen Nolan, who was joined by panelists Gloria, Denise, and Brenda Edwards. However, they saw an unexpected bite from Gloria as Denise revealed her desire to leave the UK. As they chatted about how the Bank Holiday weather was affecting everyone’s moods, Gloria passionately declared her affection for the UK.

She stated: “I tell you what though… I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Simple as that. Because I could live in the sunshine.” Denise countered with: “I would.” Suddenly, Gloria hit back with a pointed remark: “When are you going?,” leaving the audience visibly shocked and Denise momentarily tongue-tied, managing only laughter in reply to the playful dig.

Brenda joined in with a surprised: “Wow!” Viewers quickly took to social media to share their thoughts on the spicy dialogue, with one viewer remarking: “Gloria’s on fire today! ! #loosewomen.” Another added: “Oh wow, when said Gloria. When is Denise leaving?? #loosewomen.” Someone else perfectly captured the moment with one word: “Miaow!”.

Denise further explained: “There’s lots I love about this country but if I didn’t have my grandson now, I think I could leave.” Gloria, ever the optimistic one, reacted: “See now lots of reasons to stay,” and took a moment to reflect on the global situation. She said: “When you look at the world and other countries, you think, ‘This is not bad… the weather is.’”.

With a touch of resignation, Denise remarked: “Used to be – not now.” The show’s host, Coleen, tried to change the direction of the chat towards more positive areas, suggesting: “Anyway, onto to some feel good news please.” Earlier in the week, Denise shocked viewers as she ripped into a TV star live on the show.

The Loose Women panellist was seething on Monday when Dickie Arbiter, former press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II and to King Charles III before he was crowned last year, was in the studio to speak about the monarch’s cancer battle. Dickie decided to address the elephant in the room – can the monarch ever repair his strained relationship with his son, Prince Harry?

Denise insisted she thought Meghan and Harry’s decision to leave Windsor and Frogmore Cottage behind was nothing short of logical. “If I may say, do you not think there is a reason why Harry did such a thing?”, she asked. Denise then summarised the heartbreak surrounding King Charles III’s family, wounds first stemming from the monarch’s marriage with Lady Diana “when he was in love with Camilla.”

“It ruined a lot of Diana’s life”, Denise claimed. The former Coronation Street star then recalled how Harry walked publicly behind his mother’s coffin and accepted Queen Camilla as his stepmother. “Then he has a wife who is completely and continually trashed by the media, including your good self”, Denise added while turning to Dickie. “I am just sick to death of the bashing that this woman gets (…) we continually berate this woman every day.” Denise furiously doubled down: “Why would they not walk out? Why would they want to spend their life in a country that hated them?”

Meghan Markle returned to the spotlight last night, attending the Endeavour Fund Awards, her first event with Prince Harry since the couple announced their plans to step back from their senior royal family roles. And while there, Meghan talked a little about how her and Harry’s 10-month-old son Archie is doing. There hasn’t been any new Archie photos or insight from Meghan and Harry since the holiday, when the couple shared a new shot of Archie with his dad in Canada.

At the ceremony, the Duchess of Sussex spoke to attendee Claire Spencer, whose husband, Lee “Frank” Spencer, was nominated for an award. According to Hello!, Spencer got the Duchess tell her how is the little guy doing. Spencer said that Meghan “said ‘oh yes, well, he is 10 months now and is into everything.’” Aw.

Ahead of Meghan’s arrival in the UK, The Sunday Times reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex planned to leave Archie in Canada rather than take him for their work trip. This was not confirmed by the couple: Meghan and Harry made no formal announcement about whether or not Archie came to the UK with them. But Archie has not been seen or photographed out with his parents in London.

When Meghan and Harry last returned to England in January—right before they announced they were stepping back from their roles— People and Harper’s Bazaar reported the couple chose to leave their son Archie in Canada, too. Both outlets report that Archie was in the care of Meghan’s friend Jessica Mulroney and a nanny while his parents were away. And they weren’t gone for long: Meghan was back with Archie in Canada on January 10, two days after the couple’s royal family role announcement.

Loose Women stars Linda Robson and Denise Welch have more in common than just their presenter statuses.

Along with Coronation Street actresses Sally Dynevor and Katy Cavanagh, and primetime presenter Bradley Walsh, all of the well-known ITV faces have children who have shot to fame themselves. “At the end of the day he’s just my little boy and having a famous mum is something that he’s used to,” Denise told Luxe magazine.

Bradley said of his famous son: “He’s a great lad. I’ve said it on many occasions, he’s the person I always wanted to be. He’s got wonderful humility, he’s very sensitive.”

She’s the Loose Women panellist best known for playing Tracey in BBC ’90s sitcom Birds of a Feather but not everyone is aware Linda Robson’s son is famous too. Louis Dunford is a talented singer-songwriter best known for Arsenal football club’s anthem The Angel (North London Forever).

Louis, 32, started playing the piano when he was 15 and his music was discovered by late music entrepreneur Jamal Edwards – son of Loose Women panellist Brenda Edwards – back in 2014. Linda was recently spotted shedding tears at an Arsenal game when Louis’s song was played, with a spectator uploading footage onto social media which went viral.

Many football fans were amazed at the mother-son link between the pair, writing comments like ‘mind blown’ under the viral video. Linda, 66, had Louis and daughter Roberta with window cleaning company owner Mark Dunford, with the couple parting ways last year.

Fellow Loose Women star Denise is beyond proud of her musician son. Matty Healy is the frontman of The 1975, who have had five number one albums in the UK and enjoyed success in the notoriously hard-to-crack US too.

“I just think: ‘Sometimes I can’t believe I gave birth to you’,” said Denise, calling her son a ‘creative genius’. “We are like, insanely close,” said Matty of his famous mum, with actor Tim Healy his dad. The songwriter’s emotional track She Lays Down tells the story of the post natal depression Denise, 65, suffered after giving birth to him.

Matty, 35, famously dated megastar Taylor Swift for a couple of months last year, with Denise posting a backstage snap with the Shake It Off singer on her social media. The former Coronation Street star loves attending her eldest son’s gigs, saying: “I get an amazing response from his fans. They wave and I wave back and suddenly it is like a ripple effect and 30,000 people are screaming at me. I’ve now learned to embrace it because they are so lovely.”

Sally Dynevor has played Sally Webster in Coronation Street since 1986 but while the actress is a household name in the UK, her daughter is famous worldwide thanks to the success of Netflix’s Bridgerton. Phoebe Dynevor starred in the first series of the steamy period drama, which reached a staggering 82 million households in its first 28 days of release in 2020.

Phoebe, 29, became famous overnight and says her mother being in the same profession was a massive help. “There was a certain point with Bridgerton where I was over-analysing everything and my mum told me to just embrace it all and not to be terrified of it,” the star recently told Elle UK.

Sally, 60, accompanied her daughter to the BAFTA Film Awards this February, writing on social media: ‘Had the time of my life’. Phoebe headed to the iconic Met Gala this month, sporting a huge diamond on her ring finger which sparked rumours she was set to wed US actor beau Cameron Fuller. Sally then posted a social media snap of a delighted Phoebe jumping into Cameron’s arms at what appeared to be a country estate, with a rainbow in the sky behind them – could that have been the moment they got engaged?

Coronation Street star Katy Cavanagh played bubbly Julie Carp in the soap for seven years and just like Denise Welch and Sally Dynevor, she has a very successful acting offspring. Noah Jupe played Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant’s son in 2020 HBO psychological thriller The Undoing, which attracted huge viewing figures on both sides of the Atlantic.

Noah, 19, also had roles in ITV’s Downton Abbey in 2015 and 2016’s The Night Manager on the BBC. He is also known for his film roles, which include 2019’s Ford v Ferrari and Honey Boy the same year, playing a young Shia LaBeouf, for which he was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male.

Katy, 50, is married to Noah’s dad, filmmaker and producer Chris Jupe with the couple having three kids, Noah, Jemima and Jacobi. The actress is said to have left Coronation Street to support her son’s Hollywood career and Jacobi is an actor too, bagging a role in Disney’s Peter Pan and Wendy film at the age of seven. “It’s a crazy world out there,” Noah told the Independent in 2021. “And it’s an equally if not more crazy world in Hollywood or in the movie industry. So to have that close circle of people that I trust, my family or my close friends, is very important.”

But the star already had a host of acting credits to his name including The Larkins and Death in Paradise, plus in Guy Ritchie’s 2017 film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.

The father-son duo have get on so well they teamed up for their own reality show on ITV Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad, which has run for five series to date. “He has always been my son, and you always take care of them,” said Bradley, 63, who has a daughter called Hayley too. “But then all of a sudden he becomes your equal and a work colleague, and a mate, and someone you respect. Now I look up to him.”

When did Harry and Meghan last attend Trooping the Colour?

Harry and Meghan last attended the ceremony in 2018 and 2019. Even after stepping down from royal duties in 2021, the duo made an appearance to the event in 2022, the year when Queen Elizabeth II marked her Platinum Jubilee with pomp and show. However, they Sussexes didn’t join other Royal family members for a balcony appearance and instead choose to spend their time with non-working royals. They both haven’t been returned to the annual tradition since then.

In 2022, Meghan joined Harry for the funeral of late Queen, but she later skipped King Charles III’s coronation, preferring to spend the weekend hiking in Santa Barbara with friends.

Harry and Meghan moved to US with their son Archie in 2020 and have been residing in Montecito, California. Their visits to the United Kingdom have been sporadic, however, Harry flew to his home country to meet his father after the monarch revealed that he had been stricken with cancer. In May, the Duke again returned to the UK for the Invictus Games’ tenth anniversary, skipping the most-awaited meeting with his father King Charles and his estranged elder brother Prince William, who is second in line to the throne.

Amid concerns over King Charles and Kate Middleton’s health following their cancer diagnosis, it was uncertain if Trooping the Colour would take place this year. Later, Buckingham Palace confirmed King Charles’ presence to the event, skipping his horseback ride. This year, he is set to travel in a horse-drawn carriage with his wife, Queen Camilla

One person said: “#Corrie calling it. Gail will die at the hands of Joel. Bethany is already suspicious of Joel. He will go to attack Bethany but will end up killing Gail instead, whether on purpose or incidentally”, a different account put: “I suppose this Joel storyline is going to run until Christmas where he’ll kill off Gail #Corrie”, another wrote: “It’s only occurred to me when watching #Corrie tonight that Joel will probs have something to do with Gail’s exit” while a different viewer added: “I reckon Bethany tells Gail and Gail gets taken out in a fight to the death with Joel.”

Speaking of her decision to bow out, Helen said: “This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world. I made the decision at the start of the year and spoke to the producers who were very kind and understanding. I have been truly blessed to have been given the most incredible scripts week in week out, and to have worked with fantastic actors, directors and a brilliant crew. The past 50 years have flown by and I don’t think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet.”

Princess Lilibet turned 3 years old on June 4. She was named after Queen Elizabeth II’s nickname and is often called Lili by her parents.

Over the weekend, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex held a cozy birthday party for their beloved daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor at their home in Montecito, California. The party was attended by family, close friends and a few of Lilibet’s little friends.

Before Lilibet was born in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan decided to step down as senior members of the British Royal Family and move to the US to live with their first son – Prince Archie (5 years old). An announcement from the Archewell Foundation said that Lilibet is named after Queen Elizabeth II’s pet name, while the middle name Diana is a tribute to her late grandmother – Princess Diana. Prince Harry and Meghan often call their daughter by the affectionate nickname “Lili”.

In March 2023, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex began using royal titles for their children, starting with the announcement of Lilibet’s christening. After King Charles III ascended the throne in September 2022, Archie and Lilibet were officially named prince and princess. The two babies’ new titles have been updated on the official website of the British Royal Family, and also appeared in the parents’ biographies on sussex.com – the official website of the couple Harry and Meghan were launched. in February. According to British Royal tradition, Harry and Meghan took “Sussex” as their children’s surname.

In June last year, Harry and Meghan’s family went to England to attend the Platinum Ceremony celebrating the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, on the occasion of Lilibet’s 1st birthday. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex held a small gathering at Frogmore Cottage – their residence in England until last year. Speaking about the birthday party, the spokesperson described it as an “intimate, casual barbecue”. On this occasion, the couple released the first portrait photo of Lilibet taken by photographer Misan Harriman – a family friend. The photo captured the moment Lilibet smiled brightly in a blue dress, her red hair tied with a white bow.

Fans continue to admire Lilibet’s lovely images in the documentary “Harry & Meghan” released on Netflix in December 2022. Since stepping down as senior members of the British Royal Family, Harry and Meghan have limited sharing photos of their children in public. Princess Lilibet first appeared in the family’s 2021 Christmas card with the words: “This year, 2021, we are delighted to welcome our daughter Lilibet into the world. Archie has made us ‘Mommy’ ‘ and ‘Dad’, and Lili has created a complete family.”

Over the years, Harry and Meghan have occasionally shared about their daughter with the public, from her “very calm” personality to her determination to “keep up” with her brother. On May 6, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex privately celebrated their son Archie’s 5th birthday before embarking on a tour of Nigeria. This is their first overseas trip since stepping down as senior members of the British Royal Family.

Even though Archie and Lilibet weren’t on the trip, the two babies were always on their parents’ minds. While visiting a school in Abuja, Meghan revealed that “singing and dancing” is Lilibet’s “favorite class”, perhaps because “she loves to dance”. The Duchess of Sussex also shared that Archie is very interested in construction work, shown through the brothers’ robotics projects in a STEM class.

At an event about female leaders on May 11, Meghan described her children as “very talkative and sweet kids.” On Mother’s Day, May 12, she expressed that she “misses her children very much”. In his memoir “Spare” published in January 2023, Prince Harry recounted the moment Lilibet was born: “I slid my hand under that small back and neck. Gently but firmly, like those I brought my precious daughter into this world, and held her for a moment, trying to smile and look at her, but honestly, I couldn’t see anything. I want to say: Hello child. I want to say: Where are you from? I want to say: Is it better? Are you afraid? It’s okay. Dad will protect you.”

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, joined Good Morning Britain on Wednesday to give an update on both her own health as well as the King and Princess of Wales’ after the Royal Family had a double cancer scare

An emotional Sarah Ferguson provided the nation with an update on the health of King Charles and Kate Middleton when she appeared on Good Morning Britain today.

The Duchess of York has faced her own brave battle with cancer while the Princess of Wales and the King recently revealed they were undergoing treatment for the disease. Meanwhile, Fergie was asked to address rumours that her ex-husband and close friend Prince Andrew is downsizing from the Royal Lodge, as well as giving a cheery update on the late Queen’s corgis.

Responding to host Susanna Reid’s health enquiry, she revealed: “All these years I’ve been thinking ‘am I good enough? Am I this, am I that? Do I get my finances right? Do I do this? And actually suddenly now with a mastectomy and then with malignant melanoma, every single day, it’s not a wake up call, it’s now a new normal.”

She added: “You can never say you’re cancer-free, but you can say that I’m doing well Susanna, and I’m very lucky, but I really am determined. Honestly 1.2 mammograms are not being picked up. The people are not going for their mammograms, they’re not being tested. They need to be tested, they can be tested and don’t be frightened.”

In response to the Duchess’s words, Susanna replied: “I had been avoiding it because I was worried and it wasn’t the painful experience that I had in my head that it was – so thank you. [It was] All clear, thank goodness.”

Sarah Ferguson has praised the King and Kate Middleton for their recent efforts in supporting Cancer Research UK, saying: “I’m so, so proud of the King going to CRUCK, the Cancer Research UK, and becoming the royal patron and going out there and talking to all these people because it gives everybody that wonderful feeling that they are being listened to, and I thought that was very brave of him to do that. The lovely Princess Catherine doing the video was so brave. I think family unity is an extraordinary thing and I’m honestly just so proud and I just send them lots of love and lots of support.”

When quizzed by co-host Martin Lewis about the King’s request for Prince Andrew and herself to relocate from the Royal Lodge to the ‘much smaller’ Frogmore cottage, Sarah responded: “Well, you know it’s not a ‘Debbie Downer’. It’s life in the fast lane. I’m a guest for a start. I am a very lucky guest and a very comfortable guest, thank you very much. But I tend not to get involved in brothers’ discussions and I think that’s the best, most safe place to be. Let the brothers discuss it between themselves and I keep it like that.”

The Duchess shared a touching insight into her private conversations with Queen Elizabeth before her passing. Appearing on ITV’s Loose Women, she revealed: “Just before the Queen died, Queen Elizabeth, the late Queen, she said ‘Sarah, just being yourself is enough and it’s good enough’ and as soon as she said that… I walk on and talk to you guys and you can ask me anything you like because I am okay now. I have done my apprenticeship of life at 64.”

Following such heartening words from Her Majesty, the Duchess added: “I now sort of feel as though, ‘wow, she said that myself is good enough’ and I thought she was one of the finest people I had ever met in my entire life and a legend, an icon and I love her and of course, I have the corgis everyday… They are fantastic.”

The Duchess will be joining the Loose Women panel again, reports Gloucestershire Live. She’ll be on Wednesday’s show from 12.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Meghan Markle told going to The Kardashian is a ludicrous deal for her

Meghan Markle told signing up for ‘The Kardashians’ is ‘demeaning’

Meghan Markle’s decision to appear in The Kardashians is branded demeaning by a royal expert.

Former BBC correspondent, Jennie Bond, reveals the Duchess of Sussex would be going a level lower if she turns to reality TV.

She tells Mirror.co.uk: “They seem to have cut all ties with the Royal Family – except for Princess Eugenie – so it seems inevitable that they will now embrace lives as La La land celebs. Personally, I think it would be ludicrous and rather demeaning to appear in the Kardashians. I think they are better than that.

It was earlier reported that Meghan has been approached by Kris Jenner in the upcoming episodes of The Kardashians.

“I cannot imagine why Harry would want to invite the glare of reality TV into his life. Surely his only purpose in courting the publicity he so despises is to shine a light on the causes he cares about? Why invite more?” says Ms Bond.

King Charles sends clear message to Harry that he will never be allowed back into Frogmore Cottage.

 

King Charles appears to have sent a clear message to his estranged son Prince Harry that he will never be allowed back to Frogmore Cottage according to a royal expert.

 

The 75 year old monarch is reportedly encouraging his disgraced brother, Prince Andrew, to vacate the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor and move into Frogmore Cottage.

This move comes after Prince Andrew was embroiled in controversy due to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew has been accused of having sexual relations with Virginia Giuffre when she was just 17 years old. Giuffre alleges that she was trafficked by Epstein and passed around amongst his friends for sex.

However, the 64-year-old royal has categorically denied these allegations, the Mirror reports.

Now, a year after the Duke of Sussex was evicted from Frogmore Cottage, the King is sending him a stern message according to Royal author and expert Tom Quinn.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Quinn revealed: “For King Charles, forcing Andrew to move to Frogmore solves several problems at once it sends a message to Harry that, as a private citizen and no longer a working royal he will never be allowed back to Frogmore.”
